Staind Style Sus Chord Riff

By Eric Hufschmid

Hey guys,

Sus chords are known for having an ambiguous dark sound that is neither major nor minor, thus making it a favorite among alt rockers like Staind. Sometimes sus chords are mixed with major and minor chords of the same root, but other times bands will simple make entire progressions out of just sus chords. We’ll be looking at an example of the latter in this lesson.
